Initiation course
Paddleboarding or SUP in English is growing phenomenally around the world. The Milles-Îles River is an ideal watercourse for learning in complete safety. We benefit from a multitude of calm rivers and quiet bays for the neophytes.
During the initiation, you will learn the basics of balance, the handling of the paddle and the board, the turns and the notions of safety. The only prerequisite is to know how to swim.
